Promised Change But Delivered…

With a core team of partisan veterans, is change coming?

With all the mention of a “team of rivals” and comparisons to President Lincoln, President-elect Obama promised Americans an era of change away from politics as usual in D.C. But what has he delivered so far?

During the transition team announcements of cabinet posts, it seems to be politics as usual Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Rahm Emanuel, former Clinton advisor, as chief of staff. Obama’s even keeping the dreaded White House Office of Political Affairs, an office that many want gone.

So what do you think? Has change been put on the sideline as he comes to terms with having to effectively govern?
